Wojaks

The internet’s emotional avatars. From feels to nihilism and everything in between.

Before emojis became corporate hieroglyphs, there were Wojaks. Crudely drawn, painfully honest, and infinitely adaptable. They began as “feels guys,” simple sketches of sadness and recognition, but over time evolved into a pantheon of digital archetypes: the Doomer, the Coomer, the Bloomer, the Trad, the Soyjak. Each one a mirror, each one a mood.

Wojaks turned the chaos of online life into an emotional shorthand. Their blank expressions became confessionals for alienation, burnout, resentment, and fleeting joy. In a culture allergic to vulnerability, they made irony feel human again. Proof that even in pixel form, people still ache to be understood.
